Kamikazee Bird Attempts to attack Z
I was driving through some city traffic at approximately 20mph when out of the corner of my left eye I pick out a bird about the size of a pigeon descending in altitude as it crossed the busy street. As the bird moves across the road I slow down to insure that he will get by the car. The bird was practically staring at my bright daytona blue and was adjusting his speed and descending angle in order to get a better look..
before I know it -- boom the little critter makes impact dead smack into the center of my front bumper, just above the grill. I was going probably 10-15 mph when it happened and got a chance to glance through my rearview after i hit hem.. from his tossing and turning in the middle of the street the bird obviously broke its wings and was writhing in pain. the car behind me put the bird out of its misery as it followed my car. I quickly pulled over to check my bumper .. No damage whatsoever except some dirt that wiped off.
I honestly feel that this bird had a death wish and was committing suicide for personal problems. This is a warning to all you guys with a Z that if you ever see a bird coming towards your car be prepared that it might want to end its life on the front of your cars bumper.

(I assume that was a typo! It was pretty funny, though.)
